THE VALUE OF CONFEDERATE NoTEs
DECIDED. 49, Whceling, September 3d.
In the United States Supreme Court
Ter the District Of West Virginia Judge
}. J. jackson delivered the opinion in
enc of the most important cases on
trol in this State The litigation grew
ont of q sale of land in Jefferson county,
Va, now in West Virginia, in 1856, the
purchase price being 81, 733. sc. The
purchaser was Henry Castleman and
the vender Hiram l.. Opie. OF the
purchase money $4,000 was paid in
cash and notes were given for the
remainder two of $500 each, pay
able January ], 1857, and 1855, and
the remaing six for 1892, payable i'll
succession on January LIST of each year
from 1859 TO 1864. Before the out
break OF the war Opie removed to Au-
eusia county, Va, where he died in
1862. His widow was appointed ad-
ministratrix and to her Castleman paid
the last four notes in Confederate
money. The heirs of Opie brought
suit to recover this, and to-day Judge
jackson granted their prayer, holding
that the payment Of debts contracted
within the United States in Confederate
money WAS fraudulent and unlawful,
and ordered decree for principal, in
ierest, and cost, amounting to $50, 900.
The reader will notice the Qualifying
words contracted in the United
States" In other words, whilst pay
ment made in Confederate money in
Virginia or any other seeded State
was valid payment a payment made
in West Virginia, which set up as q
loyal State in 1861, was not valid
payment.

The National Republican says
"The Richmond Dispatch says the
National Republican assumes to speak
for MALONE. This is mistake. The
National Republican only speaks for
the Republican party, not for any mem
Der Of it," Then it is very evident that
the Republican is in accord with MA
Hoss in considering the little General
the Republican party OF Virginia. 1t
pcrsistently champions the cause of
MALONE, and speaks OF what he would
do and what position be would occupy
il he should be successful in the coming
Legislative campaign. And in advoca-
ting MALONE II necessarily advocates
the cause Of the SHEENASs, the FoEA-

The following figures from the New
York World OF September 9th ought
TO have some influence upon the few
persons in Virginia who cannot agree
10 the BLAIR bill-S74, $500 per an-

OF the old man who balanced his bag

The INCREASE IN PENSIONS. The
report Of the Commissioner OF Pen.
sions for the last fiscal year contains in-
formation which should cause the PEG.
pie to demand that Congress 20 very
slow in making further additions to the
pension list.
During last year the net increase in
the number Of pensioners was 40, 22i--
and this twenty-five years after the
close OF the war. The pension list
reached its natural maximum, under
the laws that helped TO induce men 10
volunteer in defence OF their country,
in 1873, eight years after the end OF the
conflict. The list then numbered
23S4il; the disbursements were
$50, OOO,0OO. The numbers steadily
decreased until 1878, when the list con-
tanned but 23,99S, and the cost was
$2G, OOO,OO At that tune the new
drag'Det pension acts, promoted by
claim agents and encouraged by vote
catching politicians, began TO pass.
The list grew at a rapid rate until on
June Both last il Numbered 400, 900,
and the cost was S74,8l5,OO0. And
thus tho anomaly is presented OF pen
sion list increasing at an alarming rate
more than a quarter OF century alter

Special telegram 10 the Dispatch.
DANyILIE. Va, October 1.-The to-
bacco market this week has shown a
brisk demand for good old cutters,
Wrappers, and filters, and the prices ob-
tanned on such have been high. New
;ohaccos have sold at higher prices
than ever known Mt this season, and the
tone of the market is healthy. The
improvement is gradual rather than
spasmodic and not to be attributed 10
the recent frost scare, but the increase
in prices is the result of the Legitimate
demand and improved business. The
amount Of leaf sold in this market for
the month Of September was ], 2S1, 262
pounds for S102. l73.j6. The amount
sold for the twelve months ending Sep
tember 30th was 1882, 72S pounds for
81, 536, $3.50. The amount sold for
the year ending September 30, 1885,
was 40, 353, 942 pounds for S3,795, S43.

secretCaueuses Objectionable

To the EditOr Of the Dispatch:
The sentiment of the men of the
better days of the republic was not
more unanimous and positive on any
subject than on the danger Of secret
political parties. Caucuses for nomi-
nations of candidates, when held with
closed doors, are not free from obiec-
tons. The transaction of the business
of political parties in the dark and
away from public inspection and criti-
cism is a serious Offence and por-
tends no good to the country. In
1855, the great Know-Nothing battle
was fought. The Know-Nothing party
was a secret political organization. Its
members, by pledges and oaths, were
bound to secrecy and to the support of
the candidates of the order. The
American love of openness revolted at
the attempt to control voters and govern
the country by dark lantern conclaves.
Virginia, under the leadership of Henry
A. Wise, struck down Know-Nothiug-
ism. In these modern days we have a
revival of secret political societies and
of dark-lantern methods.

CAEYsDBOoK. Va, Sept. 30, 1881
The crossing to the null here on the
Rivanna is done by boat, about sixty
feet above the dam. Yesterday an old
negro undertook to ferry himself over.
While midway of the riycr and about
sixty feet from the brink of the dam he
was taken with an attack Of vertigo aud
fcil into the water when, lac says, he
lost C usciousness. Spectators VINO
witnessed the accident say as soon as
lie came TO tie top me- swan straight
for The dam and pitched over. Fortu-
Dately he cIaspod the end of timber
On the edge OF the dana and hung 10y
his hands, with his body hanging ON
the lower side and with the water eight
inches deep poming over the top Of the
dam upon him The old man says me-
did not regain consciousness until be-
glasped the dam.
Three young white men, ut the risk
of their lives, put ont on a small flat
and went to the brink of the dam. One
Of them pulled the negro up, while the
